Whilst I agree in principle (and have therefore never been to one)
they are great places to buy rare records for pence, apparently.

Rare records? Or the shite that even charity shops won't take?*
*Hasn't actually been to a car boot sale either

Both.
5,000 scratched Jim Reeves LPs and then someone's son's records from the 60s that have been in the loft for 20 years and include a first edition of Led Zeppelin 1 ect.

Sadly naïve record sellers are getting fewer and further between since the advent of eBay
Even sadder is the fact that I still occasionally trawl through the 5,000 Jim Reeves LPs in the hope there is a hidden gem amongst them.

This is true.
But you can still pick up bargains.
I bought a Chinese vase for 2 quid, it's been valued at £300. And it's always worth rooting through the vinyl.

i picked up an EMI Sex Pistols 7" for 20p once.
Worth a fortune.

Define "fortune"

Enough money to feel a Somalian family for two days.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 12 Sep 2011, 10:15, Reply)

So 20p, then?

( Kroney, Mon 12 Sep 2011, 10:16, Reply)

18p.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 12 Sep 2011, 10:19, Reply)

What? Those chuggers made me pay 20p, the robbing cunts.
Pure profiteering, it is. I'm livid.

I'm seldom wrong.

I'll back the Egyptians up on this one.

How much do Somalian families (is that like Sylvanian Families?) Charge to get felt for 2 days?

Sorry, it was the A and M one.
I sold it for just short of 5 grand.
